You Fengxia was surprised: "So weak?"
Li Ping then began her report: "He somehow got some money, and he was very generous today."
You Fengxia scoffed, "What's wrong? Have you suddenly felt guilty? Who cares if it was stolen or robbed? As long as the money is spent on us sisters, that's all that matters."
Li Ping remained noncommittal, then asked her, "What are your plans for the future?"
You Fengxia's eyes darted around, and after a while, she covered her mouth with her hand and said to Li Ping, "Next, I need you... do you understand?"
Li Ping nodded, her voice calm: "Understood."
Seeing her expression, You Fengxia didn't think she really understood. She turned cold and said to her, "This is something Boss Li personally instructed us to do. If you mess it up, you'll have to deal with it!"
After hearing You Fengxia's words, Li Ping seemed to remember something, and her body suddenly trembled like a leaf...
When Bang Geng regained consciousness, he found himself lying on the ground.
Li Ping and You Fengxia have both disappeared without a trace.
Anyone who's been to a dance hall knows that the sofas there are limited, and they're generally reserved for the girls.
The men usually stand so they can move around easily and strike up a conversation with any pretty girl who doesn't have a dance partner.
So what's the point of letting a drunkard lie there?
When Li Ping and You Fengxia were around, it was fine; people just thought it was giving face to the two beauties.
After they left, naturally no one would pamper Bang Geng anymore, and two people came and threw him into some corner.
Banggeng shook his still heavy head, got up, and patted the dirt off his body.
In the dim light, I discovered that there was a large footprint on my body!
I have no idea which heartless bastard kicked it.
Banggeng went to the toilet and then vigorously rubbed his face with cold water under the tap.
A pale and haggard face was reflected in the mirror.
His eyes were sunken and his dark circles were thick, like honeycomb briquettes;
Slightly swollen eyelids, giving off a sickly appearance, are a result of frequently staying up late.
The stork has nothing to do during the day, so it doesn't just sleep. If it sleeps too much during the day, it's not surprising that it can't sleep at night.
In the mirror, his naturally curly hair had become dry and frizzy due to long-term malnutrition, and its slightly yellowish color made him look rather sleazy.
His eyebrows were always drooping, like he was overdoing it;
As for his skin, it was even worse; his complexion was sallow, and his pores were large...
People at this point might not understand what's going on with this "sticky" thing.
If a fat guy came, he could tell at a glance that this guy is in poor health!
To be honest, with Bang Geng's appearance, it's almost as if "illegal and criminal" is written all over his face.
Who would bother with a good person like him? Everyone avoids him when they see him.
"..."
Banggeng returned to the dance floor and finally found You Fengxia.
The smiling tiger arrived at some unknown time and was dancing the "slow waltz" with You Fengxia in his arms.
The so-called slow 3rd step consists of three steps: taking one step forward, one step sideways, and finally bringing your feet together, forming a basic circle.
It is one of the most basic dance steps.
Even though other people can imitate a smiling tiger's leap quite well, Li Ping taught him how to play the stick dog for over an hour that afternoon, and he still couldn't learn it.
Banggeng circled around again, but still couldn't find Li Ping.
He had no choice but to wait nearby until the song ended, then hurriedly went up to stop them, bowing and scraping as he called out, "Brother Tiger, Sister Xia."
Today, that smiling tiger was dressed in a suit and tie, looking all respectable.
Upon seeing him, he loosened his tie and said, "It's too stuffy in here, let's go outside for a smoke."
The two went outside, and Smiling Tiger tossed Bang Geng a Hongtashan cigarette. Then they chatted idly for a while.
Normally, given this opportunity to get closer to someone, Bang Geng would definitely not let it slip by easily and would use all his skills.
Not today. He was thinking about Li Ping, and all he could think about was whether she was dancing with another man.
That smiling tiger is so cunning; he understood immediately when he saw him like that: "Hehehe, what are you daydreaming about! Thinking about Li Ping, huh?"
Banggeng scratched his nose awkwardly, while Smiling Tiger didn't seem to mind: "She ran into a girl, and the two of them went to the lounge to chat. You'll see her in a bit."
Upon hearing this, Bang Geng immediately felt much more relaxed.
He looks like a complete novice...
Looking at Bang Geng's condition, Smiling Tiger felt that the time was about right.
He took the initiative and said, "That thing I told you last time about getting you to make a fortune with me, brother, is showing some progress!"
Upon hearing this, Bang Geng even temporarily forgot about Li Ping and anxiously asked, "Brother Hu, you must take care of me if there's anything good happening."
The smiling tiger patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry. You're my brother, how could I not take you with me? But there are some things we need to talk about first."
Banggeng hurriedly replied, "Of course, please give your instructions."
"Do you remember when we used to deal in imported radio cassette player parts together? We thought it was pretty glamorous back then, but looking back now, it seems so naive! It was like kids playing house."
Smiling Tiger reminisced about the past for a moment before continuing, "Things are different now. With the reform and opening up, we can do business openly and honestly. To tell you the truth, I recently met a big boss, a real big boss. He has connections, powerful backing, and a powerful network. Ever heard of Crystal Trading Company?"
Where can he hear the story of Bang Geng? Should he listen to Qin Huairu tell him, or to Jia Zhangshi tell him?
As for others, besides his mother and grandmother, is there anyone else in the whole courtyard who would bother with him?
Seeing his country bumpkin appearance, the smiling tiger felt even more reassured: "This is a real big company! They specialize in import and export trade. Brother, let me ask you, what kind of business is profitable these days?"
If Smiling Tiger were to ask about anything else, Bang Geng might not necessarily know;
But he knew this, he really knew it!
Banggeng blurted out: "Reselling in-demand goods."
The smiling tiger chuckled: "Even you know that you can make money by reselling in-demand goods, don't others know that? What does it take to sell in-demand goods? It mainly takes connections. Can we brothers compete with those kids from the compound?"
The smiling tiger's words were absolutely brilliant and hit the nail on the head!
Why was Uncle Er able to deal in rebar? It was simply because Director Lan was his apprentice, and he even sponsored Lan's university education.
Is it because of this relationship that Director Lan approved the rebar for him?
Banggeng knew perfectly well that at most they would only get to eat what others left over; they wouldn't get the lion's share at all...
Banggeng humbly asked Benleihu, "Brother Hu, what do you think?"
The smiling tiger said with a pained expression, "Oh dear, look how stupid you are! The answer to the riddle is right there in the riddle itself. Didn't I just tell you that it's about import and export trade?"
